3.907:

This version mainly concentrate on adding better support and integration for more devices (not only z-wave device).

Important part of software responsible for management z-wave devices was rebuild from the scratch for better support different devices types.

New Home Center software introduces support for plugins. Plugins give support for new devices and new functionalities without modifying HC Firmware. Plugins can be used for controlling devices via different protocols and standards like TCP/IP, IR*, RS 232*, UPNP. Plugins have their own user interface and can call all APIs available on HC2. Possibility of building plugins by independent developers will be introduced in next versions.

* required additional hardware.

New functionalities

Drag & Drop for devices and scenes - available on home, devices and rooms screens. Assigning devices to rooms and changing its order is now much easier and faster.

Magic Scenes - new, simplified and easy to use graphical way to create scenes based on condition > action flow.

Temperature Panel - allows to see history of temperature changes in rooms and on each device.

Diagnostic Panel - general information about HC working condition like CPU & RAM usage, free space on hard drive. Will be extended in future versions.

Thermostats - extended controlling for thermostats from manufacturers like: Honeywell, Trane Corporation.

Extended tamper for sensors - exclusive information for motion detection and violation of sensors.

Fibaro Smoke Sensor extended support - level of smoke and gap to alarm level is reported and visible on charts at iPad and Web Page. Sensitivity level is now easier to set.

Fibro Motion Sensor new device - when seismometer mode is turned on new device reporting tremors is available. Charts for temperature and illuminance. Additionally information about sensor violation.

Device hiding - device that is not in use can be hide without removing it.

Device deactivation - deactivated device is visible in UI but can't be controlled.

Multithreading added for HC (server and z-wave) - now engines work much faster.

Event panel moved - for better usability now is available in menu on right side of screen.

User rights management - moved to Configuration.

Summarizing my case :

Home Energy Meter DSB09104-ZWEU recognized but the clamps values are frozen.

If i try to reconfigure the device , it disappears from the list.

DSA22 & Minimote remote controllers don't work anymore.

Can't be Home automation without these devices so I have to revert back

to 3.590

[ Added: 2014-12-06, 09:15 ]

If I try to change te temperature to any of my Danfoss LC-12 (via main HC2 screen) ... it report : transfer failed !!!

Then , if I wakeup manually the LC12 , it report the old temperature.

Due to the fact that I stay with a single fixed temperature 24h/day , i cannot test if the heating panel that control danfoss temperature work or not !!!!

Andrea,

il DSA22 e l'HEM funzionano ancora?

[candrea77 26]

When using reconfigure the Uni sensor settings are lost the device will disappear and few minutes later new devices will be add.

All the associations are lost even the one to HC2

[petergebruers 1,268]

Does anybody know what "reconfigure" is supposed to do? And when to (not) use iit? I only used it on a Fibaro dimmer, to get sceneActivation working (alas, also ID changes). But doing "reconfigure" on another device, caused nothing but trouble... With the alpha versions you where *obliged* to do a reconfigure... Nowadays I think more like "don't touch that button".

Fibaro, can you clear things up, please?

[candrea77 26]

.... to get sceneActivation working.....

A question : sceneActivation is working if we add a new device or it is not working at all with beta 4.021 ?

I suppose that is not working at all .... is it true ?

Sometime my AEON 4in1 report wrong temperature.

With 3.590 never happened

I hope it's coming ASAP

[elisiussen 8]

My event log is not working either.

It seems that either the filtering or the actual logging is wrong. I'm not seeing any events from current day, only some for yesterday until midnight.

Dear Fibaro,

Do you plan to support SUC/SIS in v 4?

It would be very usefull for adding external controllers not only as secondary w/o data replication. This way we could be able solve some issues without moaning at your development team

Hi Fibaro and forum users!

I have tested out the beta now and for the two or three latest beta-versions I had this problem:

- If I go to configuration->z-wave network and want to change the option the "device polling interval" and/or the option "do not mark nodes as dead" the changes are not saved after pressing the save button on the right hand side.

I have tried to clear caches on my browsers and so on but no luck... Is this a known bug?

Running 4.021, started from scratch on 4.018. I love these fast update cycles fibaroteam! You are on the right track!

I went back to 3.590 from 4.018 because my Danfoss Living Connect thermostats didn't work (they showed up as dead, and didn't respond to temp change). Has anyone had success with these on 4.021 (or 4.018 for that matter)?

[mheldt 0]

Hi guys.

Running on the latest beta.

Got some problems with my Fibaro motion sensor, not reporting correct LUX value.

After I excluded and included one, it seems fine, but now the picture for the seismo sensor is gone, and cannot add one either.

Also got several modules, not reporting temp. So the linked devices, and the heating panel is going some nuts...

Anyone else with the same problem?

Yes, same here. Click on show hidden, you will probably find it there.

Danfoss modules will go in E5 error from time to time...

Removing te battery for few seconds will solve the error.

[Guest imparator]

TANE, i don't have this problem, i have the danfoss lc13

[TANE 12]

Also the Danfoss LC13

I have 7 in my network

Most of them scheduled via Heating pannel.

Only the scheduled ones will go to error E5..Error is also not every time.
